And prayest, “Thy will be done!

Thine eyes I see thee raise,
我從你的上升看到你的目光，
But where doth God appear?
可是，上帝在那里現(xiàn)身?
Oh! teach me who is God, and where his glories shine,
啊，告訴我上帝是誰，他的榮耀在那里閃光，
That I may kneel and pray, and call thy Father mine.

In strength and beauty rise?

The sun, the moon, the stars, his majesty declare.
太陽，月亮，群星，他的莊嚴(yán)宣示道。
See where the mountains rise:

My God is present, too:

Through all her wildest dells

Provides the daily food which stills the wild bird’s scream.

Look on that world of waves,
看那波浪翻滾的世界，
Where finny nations glide;
長著鰭的族類在那里滑行，
Within whose deep, dark caves
在深深地黑魆魆的洞穴里，
The ocean monsters hide:

To raise, to quell the storm;
暴風(fēng)雨任由他掌控;
The depths his bounty share,

Where sport the scaly swarm:

Tempests and calms obey the same almighty voice,
暴風(fēng)雨和雨過天晴遵守同一個萬能的聲音，
Which rules the earth and skies, and bids far worlds rejoice.”
統(tǒng)治地上和天空，下令遠(yuǎn)方的世界與他們一同歡慶。”
